  • Floods, Food Security
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANITARIAN/RESIDENT COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Mozambique Humanitarian / Resident Mr. Ndolamb Ngokwey Coordinator Reporting Period 1 January-31 December 2008 I. Executive Summary Mozambique is persistently hit by frequent natural disasters which inflict major damage and as a result, set back economic growth. Natural disasters such as floods, cyclones and droughts, continue to be the main obstacle for sustainable development and the achievement of the Millenium Developmental Goals (MDGs). The heavy rains in Mozambique and bordering countries from mid-December 2007 to mid- February 2008 flooded the Save, Buzi, Púngoè and Zambezi river basins in central Mozambique and have created flash floods around the Lugenda, Megaruna, Messalo and Montepuez rivers in the North of the country. Some 21,476 households (102,155 people) were affected by the 2008 Floods and 20 were reported dead. According to the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) 150,923 Ha of agricultural land were lost due to the 2008 floods. Following a Council of the Ministers meeting on 3January 2008, the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) declared a “Red Alert” later that afternoon. The Central Emergency Operations Centre (CENOE) was activated on 4 January 2008 and meetings with emergency focal points from the line ministries, relevant Government institutions and the Humanitarian Country Team members through the Cluster approach (WASH-water, Sanitation and Hygiene; Food Security; Logistics; Telecommunications; Shelter; Health; Protection; Education; Nutrition and Early Recovery) took place daily to provide updates on the situation and response in areas affected by the flooding. On 8 March 2008 the tropical cyclone “Jokwe” hit the coastland of Nampula and Zambezia, leaving behind a trail of destruction with a total of 40,339 households (201,695 people) affected, a death toll of 13 and 68,522 hectares of agricultural land destroyed.

The Viet Cong (VC) have improved upon their predecessor*s techniques and are using emplaced munitions as an effective weapon. This effectiveness is attested to by the high percentage of US casualties which are caused by VC mines and booby traps. It is quite evident that we must learn something of the munitions and their use by the VC.
